[LUG] Wine serial ports help

 

Does anyone been successful with wine and com1 (ttys0) ?

I have the only Windows App I use on an old Acer lappy and the laptop
now has gone west.

I can use the pgm in wine  (version 1.0) but it needs to output data
to / from the shop till using comms port.
I have mapped in .wine/dosdevices the file com1 to /dev/ttys0 and in
desperation  a usb to serial converter /dev/ttyUSB0 

both fail with "port initialize error"

Any ideas as to why?
